Ratings and reviews

I've been looking at all the diff brokerage apps for mobile and this one is easily in the top 3. Best for beginners because the layout borders on minimalist, but it's actually packed w more than just about any other mobile app out there. Easy layout w a ton of muscle, which has been really helped me get up to speed. Because the BEST part to the IG experience has been it's education section. The best of ANY APP BY FAR. Clear, concise , w a TON of material on every type of market. 5 star.

Everything is great, but it's not perfect. I kinda hope all the courses the website has to offer is in the app too. 5 star if you can add every courses from beginner level to advance level. Oh and it would be fantastic if you can add the ebooks in the app too, even though we can just download it from the website lol. But overall, great app to learn forex

IG Academy is the best educator in the basics of financial markets. The content is well researched and exceptionally delivered. Although not all inclusive and detailed like a book, I consider the content of the app as a daily guide on my finger tips. The design and feel of the app is elagant and easy to use. The user-interface was undoubtedly designed with the developer in shoes of the user. If there is one thing I were to change about the app, it's the number of downloads.
